Customer Question

2008 toyota sienna electrical issue. replaced alternator and 2 new batteries in last month. No luck as battery still dead after short use. Charge battery works for day or so then dead again. Turn off lights on steering column doors closed and no lights showing staying on. Also door actuator lock an issue on driver door. Took to mechanic and said expensive to replace. Taking back to mechanic and would love to see what they can check to correct this issue as can't use vehicle or even feel comfortable trying to sell it to someone in this state.
